The president added that far-left circles have denounced the police as “the enemy” and an “invading army.” He said such statements are false, inflammatory and dangerous.
“The radical politicians are waging war on innocent Americans, that’s what you’re doing when you play with the police and yet they’ll go and march on areas and rip everything down in front of them,” President Trump stated. “If that’s what you want for a country, you’ll probably have to vote for Sleepy Joe Biden because he doesn’t know what’s happening, but you’re not gonna have it with me.”
